• Support children and families through individualized, developmentally appropriate care

What You’ll Receive

• Competitive 10-month salary structure with comprehensive benefits
• Paid school calendar holidays and paid time off
• Mileage reimbursement and documentation support
• Loan forgiveness options
• Ongoing professional development, including a minimum of 10 CEUs per year
• Manageable caseload within a defined local territory
• Supportive supervision and team-oriented work environment
• Opportunity for company participation/shares
